am i there yet?

Reading your latest blog post acted as a reminder, a reality check, a reflection for me. As I read every line, I'm wondering how I would act or think in this situation. Are we thinking along the same lines? I'm happy, I'm happy for you that you're growing, maturing, moving into the real world. I will never be jealous of you (even if you have everything that I want), nor will I ever act to slow you down. All I'm worried about is whether I will be left behind.
